Xiao Jing, as the chief eunuch in charge of ceremonies, was involved in many major affairs of the court, and immediately after the words of Emperor Hongzhi, he immediately spoke: "Zhejiang Dusi, the commander of Taizhou can be punished, but if other problems of the guards are solved, the slaves and maids are worried that doing so may lead to a mutiny in the army." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiao Jing, and did not answer.

After a long time, he asked, "What is your plan?" ”

Xiao Jing shook his head and replied: "The slave maid did not consider the solution, when Taizu created the guard system, he not only trained a group of elite soldiers, but also saved a lot of taxes for the imperial court, but now not only is there corruption in the military camp, but even the armaments in other places are also slack. ”

If Dongchang can't even find out these things, then it will be in vain to blind their fame.

These things are actually on the surface, and it depends on whether they are willing to bring it up.

The problems that exist in the Wei Institute, Emperor Hongzhi had seen it from Ma Wensheng's excerpts before, and later heard Xie Zhi say it, and now that Xiao Jing has said this, it is easier for him to accept it.

Xiao Jing couldn't think of a good plan, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't say much, and ordered: "After the early dynasty, bring Ma Wensheng here." ”

Ma Wensheng Wenchen was in charge of the military department and knew about the guard, but he had little to do with the guard.

Since ancient times, civil servants and military generals have been incompatible existences.

Although fifty percent of the soldiers and horses are in charge of these guards, most of the guards are the old staff of these soldiers and horses.

Some are still several generations of domestic slaves, so find a suitable solution from the mouths of those soldiers and horses.

Who still digs his own foundations?

Emperor Hongzhi is also very clear that the problems that exist in the current situation of the official or the guard are very tricky.

The more I thought about it, the more depressed Emperor Hongzhi became, and snorted: "One county is rich and one country is rich, I only see that the clouds are rich, where is the court rich?" ”

The idea of a rich county and a country was put forward by Xie Zhi, and when Emperor Hongzhi said this, Xiao Jing could also guess who Emperor Hongzhi was talking about.

However, Xiao Jing also knew that although Emperor Hongzhi had complained, with the great victory of Pingwei, his favor to Xie Zhi could only increase unabated.

In order to be thankless, he still talks less at this time.

In the early dynasty, the arrival of the great victory of the peace and the Japanese had spread to all corners of the court.

Xie Qian entered the palace city, and a large number of people congratulated him.

Previously, because of the fundraiser, many people nodded coldly when they saw Xie Qian.

Xie Qian's popularity in the court has always been quite good, but because of Xie Zhi's relationship, the scene was very embarrassing.

Don't look at many people saying hello to him now, but a few people are sincere.

A good champion is not appropriate, he has to learn Qiu Ba to dance with a knife and a stick.

Even if many people are jealous, they may have to criticize a few words behind their backs.

In the early dynasties, Emperor Hongzhi was the first to order the Ministry of Rites to reward those who were peaceful.

Although the Pingwei army was not directly led by Xie Zhi, everyone knew that this matter was facilitated by Xie Zhi.

Whether it is the treasure ship or Yun Zhongwei, it has an inseparable relationship with Xie Zhi.

The credit for this Xie Zhi is indispensable.

The rest like Wang Shouren, Xu Jing, Qi Jingtong, Liu Aliang, Li Yu and even Wang Haozi, who only reported the news, can get a reward.

After the order, Emperor Hongzhi continued: "The Japanese country is now in the midst of civil strife in the north and south, and the British prince said that I sent troops to help them solve this problem, so that the pirates who are the party can be eliminated, what is the opinion of the ministers?" ”

As long as you ask questions, there will be three kinds of opinions.

Naturally, there are people who have the opposite opinion on this issue, and there are quite a few such people.

"Your Majesty, it has already cost as much as 10,000 taels to level the Wa, and if you help the civil strife between the north and the south of the Wa Kingdom, I am afraid that the silver will be consumed even more."

Those who put forward such opinions may be relieved that if they continue to quell the civil unrest in Japan, they will raise donations from them.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't say anything, and then asked, "Which other Qing family has something to say?" ”

"The minister thinks that he really shouldn't send troops, and his heart will be different if he is not my race, so I am afraid that it will be a bamboo basket to draw water at that time."

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

More than half of the ministers of the DPRK and China seconded the proposal not to continue sending troops.

As soon as such a result came out, Emperor Hongzhi no longer had much hope.

These people have more or less selfish motives, and it is difficult to negotiate a suitable solution with them.

Emperor Hongzhi paused for a moment, and then said: "The commander of Zhejiang, the commander of Taizhou, behaved badly in this incident, and Zhang Mao, the governor of the Chinese army, is also there. ”

In the early dynasty, the unity of opinion was not sought, but after the next dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi issued an order to recall Xie Zhi.

At this time, there was basically nothing to do in the Taizhou camp, and Xie Zhi basically had nothing to do when he stayed there.

Emperor Hongzhi also knew that although the excerpt was made by Zhang Mao, many opinions were put forward by Xie Zhi.

If you want to decide whether this matter can be done, you have to listen to Xie Zhi's opinion face-to-face in the end.

After waiting for a few days, I didn't wait for Emperor Hongzhi's will to send troops to the country, but I waited for the will to summon Xie Zhi to return to Beijing.

Together with this will, the will of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division and the Taizhou Commander was examined in detail.

After receiving this will, Zhu Houzhao still looked unhappy, and complained: "My father and emperor always do things like this, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, if you want to send troops, why should you be called back!" ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't have much of a problem complaining, but Xie Zhi couldn't complain, it was easy to damage his current image.

Xie Zhi smiled and said: "Since this is Your Majesty's will, just do it, the minister will leave for Beijing immediately, and His Royal Highness and Zhang Shibo will find out the problem of these two people as soon as possible, then this matter can be regarded as a smooth end." ”

Immediately, Xie Zhi left for Beijing.

Xie Zhi also knew the reason why Emperor Hongzhi did not send troops, and there must be many opponents in the court and China whenever the army was raised.

Along the way, through the continuous change of horses at the post station, it took five or six days to finally rush back to Beijing.

Counting the time when Xie Zhi reported his achievements, the time when Emperor Hongzhi announced his arrival in Beijing took more than 20 days.

How many battles are fleeting, and many are estimated to have been delayed in this way.

After entering the Beijing Division, Xie Zhi entered the palace before he could breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that the army of Pingwei is waiting in Taizhou, the key is that the treasure ship can't go to sea for a long time, and it's all a waste of time.

As soon as he entered the warm pavilion, Xie Zhi took the lead in saluting.

After Emperor Hongzhi responded, Xiao Jing on the side smiled and said: "Congratulations, Marquis Yunzhong's victory in this battle also raised the prestige of my Ming Dynasty." ”

Yun Zhonghou? When Xie Zhi was surprised, Xiao Jing quickly spoke: "The Ministry of Rites has drawn up a plan to make you the Marquis of Yunzhong, Wang Yanshi as the new uncle, and the rest of the people who participate in the war will be rewarded." ”

This marquis was actually available as early as when he resolved King Ning's rebellion, but unfortunately because of Xie Zhi's matter, this marquis was unable to get his hands on it for a long time.

Xie Zhi didn't say a word, immediately thanked him, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled faintly, raised his hand and said: "The victory of the Ping Wa is also a thorn in my heart, the Japanese often invade my sea area, for thousands of years, once the army is sent but immediately slipped into the sea, it can be said that it is annoying, this battle has cleared the largest group of Japanese pirates, and it can be regarded as raising eyebrows." ”

Xie Zhi then cut to the topic and replied: "This question is really annoying, more annoying than Tatar, these people don't have the ability to compete with the Ming Dynasty, but they come from time to time like flies for such a long time, the court sends troops, they retreat, the court retreats, they attack again, so repeatedly, it's really annoying."

Your Majesty, this is the reason why the minister suggested sending troops to the Japanese state, if the Japanese country is not stable, there will soon be new bandits, so repeatedly exterminated, the court consumes money and energy, but it is also more than worth the loss. ”

Since Xie Zhi mentioned it, Emperor Hongzhi asked: "How much money and food is spent so much?" ”

The resistance is there, stupid or not.

Xie Zhi replied: "Since it is to solve the problem for the Japanese country, then naturally we have to take it from the Japanese country, we have worked hard to solve such a big problem for them, is it possible that they can't even make up for the money and food consumed?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled at Yan Yan and said, "Who is the right person to send?" ”

Since Emperor Hongzhi has opened his mouth like this, it can be seen that on this issue, he can be regarded as having the majority of supportive opinions.

Xie Zhi replied lightly: "The minister recommended Qi Jingtong, he is not from a family background, he is not involved in those family networks, although he is from a hundred households, he is quite strategic, but he can be regarded as brave and strategic, and it is not much of a problem for him to take Yun Zhongwei there." ”

This answer surprised Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi said, "I thought you would recommend Wang Shouren." ”

Wang Shouren's ability is too big, and if he only does a peaceful thing, it will inevitably be a little condescending.

Xie Zhi replied: "Yun Zhongwei has been trained, there is no big problem if there is a general, and it is inevitable that Brother Shouren will only do this." ”

These problems are only superficial, and there are many more to deal with.
